Odyssey J4105 BIOS - split M.2 PCIe to 4*1x PCIe

Hello.

I believe the default bios settings configure the M.2 PCIe x4 as a single slot. But is there possibility to change or re-flash the bios to get 4pcs PCIe x1 from the M.2 slot?

I am planning to put four mining GPU:s to the M.2 PCIe slot and easiest way would be:

  • connect directly 4pcs PCIe x1 to CPU
  • make custom M.2 card with four PCIe connectors (we use USB 3.0 connectors on mining systems)
  • bring external power supplies to the M.2 card

To achieve the 4pcs PCIe x1 lanes, either I need to use some kind crappy splitter IC, or the BIOS must configure the lanes correctly. Latter option is way batter.

Let me check this with our engineer and get back to you. This seems like a new approach for Odyssey X86 also :smiley:

Hi @Crazyengineer

Just got the answer from the enginner, it does not support PCIe x 1 4pcs for Odyssey X86.
